Best VFR communication software?
Hi!
My VFR communication has become a bit(A LOT
) rusty and I am looking for some kind of interactiv software that I can use for training my ATC abilitys.
I know that flight sim online is one option, but I was wondering if there is another software out there where I can sit by my self and train what to say and when?
The software should be prefereble for JAR-FCL but any software would do :-)...
thanks in advance!

I tried the Oxford CD-ROM and didn't find it particularly helpful. It's confusing because the basic module is ICAO and the UK RT is in a supplement which does not have the same degree of interactivity.
Really, RT is not rocket science. Get the free CAA document - it's up to date and has all you need. If you want to be interactive then find a friend or use a tape recorder.
There's also a FSX add-on which is supposed to be voice activated. I forget the name - but avoid at all costs!

The question has been posed a few times and the short answer is "No". In the UK, the legal outlook for re-broadcasting air-band communication appears to be poor and (I presume) hence its absence from major Internet sites.

There are some spaces on the interweb to listen to live ATC including a few UK frequencies. However like has been said listening in the UK is not strictly legal.
Although I presume once you have your RT licence you are legally allowed to listen at home on a radio scanner.

Here's a cheap simple solution for you - a new free guide to GA pilot R/T from the Airspace and Safety Initiative:
